Definition Institutional Investors. Description.
Institutional Investors are large, professional participants
to the financial markets, such as:
-
Pension funds
-
Investment banks
-
Fund-management companies
-
Insurance companies
-
Hedge funds
-
Mutual funds
-
Trusts (charity, religion, education, endowment)
These organizations hold somewhere between 40% to 75% of all
equities in most capital markets. Typically they invest with a (very) long-term
perspective (10-50 years), based on a previously crafted formalized strategy,
such as maintaining a certain portfolio / composition of shares. See
rebalancing. Because they are believed
to be more knowledgeable and better able to protect themselves using
portfolio insurance, they
face less protective regulations. Because they trade securities in large volumes,
they often get preferential treatments (lower commission fees) from investment
banks and from the capital markets, which they often own as well. As a result
they clearly have a competitive
advantage when it comes to buying and selling securities.
Under normal circumstances, they are believed to have a stabilizing
effect on the capital markets and on the economy as a whole.
